Limitless Ascension Supremacy

Compared To What I've Faced, You All Are Just Too Weak

Arthur hid behind a cluster of dead shrubs and rocks, assessing the situation before him with a frown on his face. After a few seconds of watching, he glanced at a frozen Lilith who was crouched besides him.

Stunned, he raised his hand and tapped her lightly on her shoulder. She woke up from her daze instantly, but didn't make a sound. As soon as her brain processed what had happened, she grinned awkwardly.

Arthur shook his head and went back to surveying the monsters closely. The two Lionake Hunters and Stone Hooves seemed to be in some sort of strange haphazard formation. The Lionake Infantry crawled around aimlessly, but seemed to be at elevated alert.

A dungeon is divided into four parts — The Gates, The Domain, and The Boss Chamber. Clearing an entire dungeon could take from hours, to weeks or months of endless battles and deaths. Each dungeon having it's own unique monsters and castes.

Dungeons are classified into 7 levels — E level, D level, C level, B level, A level, S level and Z level. E levels were at the bottom of the hierarchy, and had weaker beasts in comparison to vast Z levels with god-level bosses and overpowered peasants.

To get to a boss chamber, one has to clear a specified path leading to the area. That path is usually guarded by powerful monsters, and had even more terrifying traps compared to the others.

What I said earlier to Drake? It was all a lie, but for a good reason. If we had followed one out of those two paths, we would have either ended up at a dead end, or even back where we all started.

More complicated dungeons would even lead us to more paths, which would inevitably help us get lost without the ability to get back. Well, unless we had the strength to bulldoze through revived enemies.

This— It was the only way that they would get to the boss without going through unknowns, troubles and needless casualties. All we have to do is slaughter our way through the enemies without hesitating.

"One…"

Besides, why would I let out on the painful chance to earn extra XP if it wasn't important? I can't risk the delay of my growth any more, or else everything I witnessed in the past would repeat itself.

"Two…"

All I need to do is give the signal, and the battle for power begins again. There isn't any going back now, when we are so close to achieving our goals. Under these conditions, I must not falter or shrink back.

"Three… Attack!"

Felicia who was hidden behind a tree, quickly stepped out and fired an arrow into the Lionake Infantry which was just a few metres away. Her arrow shattered it's scales, tearing apart it's innards to shoot out through it's back.

The other Lionake was unable to process what had just happened before it's eyes, when Drake shot out from the shadows and ruthlessly cut it down with his sword, splitting it into two different halves.

"Felicia, relieve the hunters from their sight. Drake try out best to take out the closest Stove Hooves! I'll take out both hunters!" Arthur yelled as leapt out of his hiding place, then using the boulder as a spring board, bent his knees and shot himself towards the two Lionake Hunters with a grin on his face.

"Haha! Lilith, buff me!"

[Feral Strength cast on Player @Arthur!]

[All stats received a thirty percent increase!]

Arthur threw himself at the two hunters. His eyes gleamed in a bright light the minute they noticed him, and without hesitation he twirled mid air to avoid their attack - closing the gap between the monsters and himself in a few seconds.

Before either of the Lionakes could attack, Felicia fired her arrows, piercing through their eyes in an instant. With his buff still active, Arthur swung his sword as he spun - severing the heads of both Lionakes rotationally.

After crash landing on the ground a few metres away, Arthur sat up and looked around himself with a frown on his face. He wanted to kill those two without taking damage, but still got his head bruised from the fall.

His frown deepened as his eyes fell upon Drake, the gleam in his eyes dying out seconds later. He seemed to have lost all his drive and excitement.

Drake on the other hand was sweating buckets as he struggled to battle the two monsters. The two of them seemed to be made entirely out of stone, negating all his damage with zero difficulty.

Their attacks was very basic, just stomps, kicks and body bashes. Hacking at their bodies was useless, his sword barely scratched their hide!

They even ate two of Lilith's fireballs as if it were nothing! Dashing out of the massive explosions without sustaining even a single injury. It was a bit, horrifying for one person to face alone.

"Damn it!" Drake dodged the stomp, then dashed to the side before leaping forward again. Drake was not someone who would surrender until he was completely burned out - his internal resolve was unwavering even in the face of death.

He believed that the two of them must have some weakness of some sort — a point where they could be damaged! But, where could it be? He was not the type to listen during beastology classes.

"The neck! Go for the neck!" Aaron shouted from a corner, he didn't even leave his hiding spot even after Arthur's signal. He was so cowardly, that he hid on a tree where he believed he could not be attacked by any monster.

"Neck? Could that cowardly moron be trusted?"

Drake frowned deeply in thought as he stared at the Stone Hooves neck. It did not look different from the other parts of it's body. Drake who did not know what else to do — rushed the monsters.

He dashed towards the Stone Hooves and aimed for the neck as he lifted his sword. "Who cares if it's the neck or not? As if they were any other option for me to choose from!"

Drake's eyes shone as he dragged down his sword with all his might. The blade turned into a blinding light as it descended, giving off a heated and wild vibe.
